My 96 XJ (145K miles) produces strong clunk upon initial acceleration after a moderately quick stop. The quicker the stop, the stronger the clunk. It does not do this after normal conservative braking. The drive shaft U-joints are nice and tight. Nothing appears to be loose or worn. I have had the vehicle about a year. Any ideas what causes this type of flex? Is it just normal behavior of leaf springs to wind up and unwind causing this movement? Thanks.
